l?rit A Queer Retribution.
The Opclouaas, La., Journal, of the
15th, is responsible for the following :
"Down in the Parish of St. Martin, an
old widow lady, whose children had all
married off and left her alone, had boon
persuaded to sell hor little place and'
' lire -with them. She cold her land,
building and improvements one day for
S2 QftO. nnd received the money in caah
on the spot, in her owu house, wberc
the act of sale was passed before two
witnesses, the number required by law,
and who witucsscd also tho paying of
the money. In a short time she was to
give jmwkmoii, but she remained ;n the
house the night following the tale, all
alone, or with no masculine adult in
mate?, n? wa:* her castom. That night
two negro burglars broke into tho house
and demanded her money or her lifo.
She gave it lo them, but begged them to
Met lrr have $100 of it, an aha owed
that amount, aud wanted to pay the
debt, when she would be satisfied. They
finally consented to lot her keep the
S100. They then ordered her to make
aomo coffee for them to drink. In doing
60, sho bethought herself of tome
strychnine she had in tho houee, nnd
quietly dropped it in the pot of steam
ing coffee, and placed it on the table,
with cups, spoons and sugar for them to
pour out and sweeten to their taste
This they did, and drank in jolly mood,
each one having nine hnadred and
fifty dollars in his pocket. Hut in a few
minutes the tables were turned. One
gavo up the ghost where he sat at the
t3blo in his chair, and the other got up
daggered off a few feet, and tumbled
over into eternity. The good old lady
recovered her money, and on examining
flic jc-tm i'S of tin: blark burglarious
robbers they turned out to be tho two
witnesses to the act of sale, both whito
men blackened for the occasion?both
Lcr neighbors, and one was her cousin."

Fever and Ague,
from which mankind suffer over s large part of
tho globe, is th? consequence of s diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous ruiasm of
vegetable docay. This exhalation is tvoTved bv
the action of sol t lint on wet anil, sad rises with
the r. ntcrv vapor from it. While the mu: is below
the horjon this vapor Unters near the earth's sur
face, aud the vim* is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood- There it set* as an irritating;
potion en the intern?! \ isccra and eacretine organs
ef the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not only this Tints, but also the bile from
the blood. Both the Tints and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitu
tional disorder. Tho sjlecn, the kidney*, and the
stomach sympathise with tho lirer, and become
disordered olio. Final',/, the instinct of our or
ganism, as if in an attempt to expel the noxious
infusion, concentrates the whole blood of the bsdy
in the internal exerotories to force them ta tost tt
oat. The blood leave* {he surface, and rushes to
the centre! organs with congestive violence. This
Is theCniM.. But in this cff.tt itfails. Then the
Fr.vnn follows, in which the blood leaves the cen
tral organs and rushoa to the surface, as if in
smother effort to expel Ute irritating poison through
that other great excretory?the skin. In this
also it fails, and the system abandons the attempt
exhausted, and waits for the recovery of strength
to repeat the hopeto is effort another day. These
arc the fits or paroxysms of Feyhk and Am k.
Siseh constitutional disorder wil'. ef coarse under
mine the health if it is not remo.?rJ.
We have labored to find, and hare found, an
axUdete,
Ayer*s Ague Cure,
which neutralises this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
Body. As it should, so it does cure this afflicting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
or rather does what is of more service to these sub
ject to this infection. If taken in ssaswn it expels
it from the system as it is absorbed, and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
astern In health although exposed to the disease,
msequeatif it not only cures, bat protects from,
the groat variety ef affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, rich as Remittent
Paver, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earaohe, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita
tions, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Hysterics,
Colic, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Ktotnach ana Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume store or
less th* intermittent type. This " Aoun Conn "
removes the cause of these derangements, and cures
the disease.
. This it accomplishes by stimulating the excre
tories to expel the virus from the system ; and
these organs by degree* become habited to do this
their office ef their own accord. Hence arises what
we terra nothmatatioii. Time rnsy accomplish the
same end. but often Hfe is net lang enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this " Aom I'vsn "
does it at once, and with ssfety. Wc have great
reason to believe this in a surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmstic infection, than any other
whioh has been discovered ; and it hss still another
important advantage to the public, which in, that
it is cheap as well as good.
